Not up to par [Posted on 2008-06-18]
I bought these thinking they would be sweet but they really are not that great of quality. The sound quality is that of regular old apple headphones. The "built in subwoofer sucks.
AMAZING [Posted on 2008-06-19]
product is amazing except the bass hum when on high other then that playing games and listening to music with these bad boys kick butt
good for portable device [Posted on 2008-06-21]
so after much debate i finally decided on these. i had a pair of bose tri ports for years that i loved, but the left ear piece started fading out and i couldn't use them any more. the one thing that bugged me about the triports was when i listened straight through my computer, the bass was amazing & pure, but on an ipod it was minimal. the sound was still great but the bass was mostly gone. the skullcrushers are a different story. they have lots of bass & thump through a portable. while overall, the triports were more comfortable and sounded better, these are actually a better option if you listen to bass heavy music mostly on a portable mp3 player. if you listen directly through your stereo or computer, go with a higher end headphone without the added bass feature.

I think these are the best headphones I've ever had they were everything I thought they would be.
Good for under $50 [Posted on 2008-09-27]
Brief summary: The Skullcandy crushers are a unique looking pair of studio headphones with the added twist of a build in subwoofer. Construction is cheap, sound quality isn't. Although they list for as high as 70, I wouldn't pay more than 50.
Review: I'm a musician whos primary instrument is Bass Guitar. I owned a pair of Skullcandy SCS-SC's (Green, first model) about three years ago and used them primarily for listening sessions via direct amp connection. I also compose Digital Tracks using studio software on my laptop. I wasn't expecting much in the way of sound quality, but I was curious about the built in subwoofer. Surprisingly, the sound was actually pretty decent. The build in subwoofer was as advertised, delivering a major kick to the lows of my bass guitar and digital dance tracks. The mids and highs weren't lacking either, and all around, I was unexpectedly surprised. As far as the physical design of the Skullcrushers, my inital impression was poor. They look and feel incredibly cheap. The attention to fit and finish is lacking, and the inline subwoofer controller literally looked like it was pieced together with crazy glue. Again, surprisingly, they actually managed to hold up for three years despite the cheap design (although to be honest, I do not use them for portable listening and tend to take good care of my electronics). Recently, my pair was stolen along with some other stuff, which brought me back online to purchase another. My purchase price was $49.42 (in store) in 2005. I just ordered another pair for $50 (including shipping). I expected to find them for much cheaper, but I guess the demand is still strong. I also owned a pair of Skullcandy Ink'd buds, which I would probably recommend for portable listening (strong bass, compact design, gold plated plug etc). I originally paid $29.95 (in 2007) for these buds, but thankfully found a replacement for 10 bucks right here on amazon.
If you're willing to shell out the extra 20-30 dollars, Skullcandy has since released another series of crushers with much better construction and stronger bass amplification. Otherwise, stick with the original SC's for $50 or less. I'm not a gamer, so I can't comment on that, but I'll say they're Great for rock, dance and hip-hop music listeners as well as musicians who need a cheap pair of stereo-phones with strong bass and noise cancellation capability.
